I think it might be good that you ran out of fabric. You chose some nice fabrics to coordinate with it. I haven't made a D9P yet. You did a nice job on it.

I like it. I wouldn't change a thing!

I like it.

I would have liked to see the borders in the opposite places. The outer border looks like a transition strip that would take the flow from purple to green, then the more green to the outside. Just my opinion! And I can not see myself unsewing all that!

Just my opinion but I think a burgundy color similar to the inside would look much better and carry that color out to the edge and also bring out the burgundy in the outside border. I am meaning for the binding.

Looks fine to me.

I like the green. Does the adage "It doesn't have to match, it just has to go" apply here? It goes very well in my opinion.

I agree with Theresa, pink thread and stitch between the two greens. Awesome quilt!!! Sandi

If so, perhaps some thin pink ribbon can be woven through the stitched area. Regardless, they will be delighted!

Looks fine. But if I were to knit-pick, I'd say that both borders have the same small print to them and blend together without much contrast. What might be more pleasing to the eye is a skinny solid of a true light or dark to contrast with the outer border (which I love with the small specs of rose color).

Without taking it apart, but helping it blend a bit, you could use fabric from the outer border and make circles and applique a handful of random "dots/circles". That might help blend things for you. While you are at it, maybe throw a few circles of your main fabric out in the border too!
